SESSION 5.

     The  following  WORDFLEX  features  and commands will  be  explained  and
demonstrated in this session:

      Setting of the left and right margins

      Right justification of the text in the file buffer

      Page headers

      File handling utility

      Erasing the entire buffer

      Reinitilization of the session

     There  is  no particular need in WORDFLEX to set the left margin for  the
bulk  of  the  text  to column other than 1.  As  explained  in  the  previous
section, the left margin for printing can be selected by the "h" option of the
Alt  O command.  There are situations, however, when entire paragraphs have to
be  entered  using  a  different  left  margin than  the  rest  of  the  text.
                            ***Press Ctrl Pg Dn***
          We  start a demonstration of this feature at this line.  First,  the
          temporary left margin has to be reset at the current cursor position
          using the Alt L comand.   It is convenient to preserve the automatic
          word  overflow into the next line at the newly selected left margin,
          both for a new text entry and for a text insertion.

          You  can force the lines to start at any column by moving the cursor
          left  or right; by default, however, the lines  will always start at
          the  newly selected margin. You can move quickly to the left  margin
          by invoking the Alt I command.

     We  have just reset the left margin to column 1 by pressing the Home  key
followed  by  the Alt L command.  Practice this left margin  justification  by
entering  new  text  into  an empty buffer or inserting  new  text  into  your
test.txt file buffer.

     Similarly,  the right margin (and the maximum line length) can be set  at
the  current cursor position by the Alt W command.  Both margins are shown  on
the command line by red (normal video) bars.  The right margin can be also set
as  option "b" of the Alt A command by entering the value of the maximum  line
length.

     A line of text can be centered by the Alt T command.  The centering takes

place between the current left and right margins.

     The  next  topic to be explained is the Alt B command.  Alt B  invokes  a
right justification of the text in the rest of the current paragraph.  Option
"  j" of the Alt A command allows you to select this as an automatic  feature.
We have to caution you, however, against this automatic right justification of
text  being entered and/or inserted since it makes a subsequent editing of the
text quite difficult. The  main purpose of the Alt B command is to see how the
text will appear in its printed version if the right justification is selected
for  the  printed output.  This text is, as you can see, right justified.  You
can  invoke  the Alt B command on any portion of the text and see it  modified
and  displayed  in cyan color (high  intensity on Monochrome).  As   with  the
previously    explained text modification commands,  you can make  this  right
justification  permanent  in  the buffer by pressing F6 or to  return  to  the
original appearance by pressing F9.

     When you create your text, the file buffer is not partitioned into pages.
WORDFLEX  uses  the following two methods for insertion of page  headers  with
automatically incremented page numbers:

                            ***Press Ctrl Pg Dn***
The  Alt P command will insert a single page header above (before) the current
line.  The Alt J command will insert page headers starting at the current line
throughout  the rest of the text.  If a marked line is encountered before  the
end  of the text buffer,  the insertion will stop there.  The number of  lines
per page (including 3 - 5 lines of a page header) is selected by option "j" of
the Alt A command.  It is set by default to 50 lines.

     The Alt J commands invokes automatically the Alt Q command which deletes
existing  page headers from the text following the current line to the end  of
the  buffer  or until a marked line is encountered.  The Alt Q command has  no
effect  on  a text without page headers.  The Alt Q command has to  be  issued
before  the Alt J command manually if the format of the page headers is to  be
changed  (options  "e" and "f"  of the Alt A command).  See Section XII of the
User's Manual for further details.

     WORDFLEX    allows  you  to define 1 or 2 lines of the page header.   The
default page header consists mainly of the ASCII formfeed character and a page
number.    Option "h" of the Alt A command allows you to select a page  number
for  the  next  page  header to be inserted.   Page  numbers  are  incremented
automatically.

     In addition to this, the Alt A command allows you to define the number of
page  header  lines and their contents (option "f").  The page headers are  an
                            ***Press Ctrl Pg Dn***

integral  part  of the text and they can be edited just like any other  lines.
They  stored  with  the text files and retrieved upon loading the files  on  a
buffer.

     Option "e" of the Alt A command allows you to select printing of the page
header  on  the top (default option) or on the bottom of a  page. Now practice
insertion of page headers into this or your test.txt file buffer.

     The  Alt U command provides file handling utilities available through the
DOS  without  the  necessity  to exit WORDFLEX.  If option "b" of  the  Alt  U
command  is  TRUE, all hidden files will be displayed in  directory  listings.
Options  "g" and "h" allow you to mark files hidden or unhidden.  WORDFLEX can
edit  hidden  files only after they have been marked  (temporarily)  unhidden.
If  you  are  running Version 2.0 of the IBM PC DOS, options " i and  "j"  are
displayed    allowing   you  to  check   and  reset   current    subdirectory.

     The  Alt  Z  command allows you to reinitialize a WORDFLEX  session.    A
warning  is  issued  before the command is executed since there is no  way 
to restore the contents of buffers once Alt Z has been executed.  If you want
to issue this command, save first all buffers that you want to preserve.  The
Alt Z command releases all memory used by all active text buffers.
                            ***Press Ctrl Pg Dn***
     The  last command we want to mention here is the Alt K for "kill  buffer"
command.   This command will erase, after a warning message, the contents   of
the  current  buffer  irretrievably.  It has somewhat limited  use  since  the
buffer  cannot  be  reused for the loading of another file.  It can  be  used,
however, to  start entering new text if you have decided that the current text
is  hopelessly bad.  Alt K does not release memory used by the erased  buffer.

     This  concludes  the  WORDFLEX  tutorial.    NEMCO  will  appreciate  any
criticism and suggestions on this tutorial, the User's Manual and the WORDFLEX
program.  We will seriously consider customizing the program for your specific
needs, and are looking forward to hearing from you.
